    According to his online death record, there wasn't much on it. However the names of his Father and Mother were on it. His father was Charles H. Avenall and mother was Anne Pierce. There was no mention on his date of birth or were he was born. Searching online, I found him on the 1901 of Kent Co. England It states he was 9 years old so that means he was born appox. 1892. He was a single man and worked as a Stewart on a CPR boat. There is no other family in BC

    From her online death record she was born on Feb 6, 1881 in Carpanzano, Italy. At the time of her death she was a widow and her husband was Joseph Canino. The name of her parents are unknown. The only clue I found is that a son of theirs passed away in 1948. On his death record its lists his Father was Joseph Canino and Mother was Margaret Mancaco. Her husband Joseph passed away in 1928. In Vancouver and is buried at Mountain View Cemetery. I can't find any further info on Joseph or Margaret

    From her online death record there wasn't that much informative about her. Most of the answers were noted as " unknown.The only clue I had to go on is that she was living in Kamlopps before coming to Essodale. At the time of her death she is a widow with a unknow spouse. Searched the BC Marriage with no luck. Searched the BC Death and found a death recored (though not digitalized) for a Thomas Aiis. Searched the 1931 BC Census for Thomas and Jennie. It confirewd that she was married to Thomas Aris. There is no mention of children . Thomas Died in 1944 and is buried at Pleasent Street Cemetery in Kamloops. On a side note, Jennie was actually married before Thomas. She married a fellow named George Eveleigh. He died in 1920. Jeenie's real name was Jane Cecillia. She was born in Toronto was the child of Patick Coffey and Catherine Johnston

    This was one of the toughies. There was very little on her online death record. The only thing useful was her date of birth and her place of birth. At the time of her death is is listed as a widow. On Ancestry, I found a marriage record for a Anton Frederick Bresquar and a Amelia Jane Bashford. They were married 4 March 1888 in Birmingham, Warwick England. At the time of her death she has been in BC for 37 years. Anton passed was in 1932. There was obit published in The Province newspaper on Jan 9, 1932 stating he was survived by his wife and one son.
